If I was doing it now I definitely would put it in the sysfs realm. The
problem is Jack did it back in (I think) 2007. The earliest commit I
could find:
commit a3d732f93785da17e0137210deadb4616f5536fc
Author: Cliff Wickman <cpw@sgi.com>
Date: Mon Nov 10 16:16:31 2008 -0600
x86, UV: fix redundant creation of sgi_uv
Impact: fix double entry creation in /proc
And in the past 12 years probably a hundred user programs are now keying
of the presence of /proc/sgi_uv to signal this is indeed a UV system.
Changing the location of this node also affects all the UV utilities
including those not written by us.
